Who would be open to attending a virtual Pay-What-You-Can Radical Unlearning Lab in which we watch media & discuss what we can learn or unlearn from the themes that arise? I have the BEST clip for ableism in the medical-industrial complex, so that would probably be my 1st session! Who might be in? πŸ‘€

My dog has only ever been aggressive to one human in her life. Some random guy we passed while walking.

I fully believe he was a serial killer or something equally dangerous. My dog loves humans.

My unpopular opinion is that YouTubers who rely on autocaptioning without vetting the output and correcting its numerous errors should be ashamed of themselves

Aliya Rahman is a disabled woman who was brutally detained by ICE.

They injured both her shoulders & worsened an existing traumatic brain injury.

She refuses to back down.

She refuses to cower in fear.

She stands up. Silently. With conviction.

She’s also wearing a respirator.

She’s a badass.

For many years I have supported Wolf conservation. Several years ago I wrote a work for Brass Band and Trumpet called β€˜The Last Wolf’ which I am currently revising. We are ignoring the science on the importance of the role these beautiful animals play in our ecosystems. I was very disappointed to 🧡

6 Years Since Ahmaud Arbery’s Tragic Killing, My Disability Justice Fight Drags On This newsletter post includes access to my essay that references Ahmaud Arbery's tragic killing, which was first published in the Radical: An Unapologetic Anthology by Women and Gender Non-Conforming ...

"...the 6-year anniversary of Ahmaud Arbery's...killing passed. If...unaware of his...story, this Black man was out for a run when 3 white men...chased & cornered him on the outskirts of town, before killing him with 3 shotgun blasts, as seen in a graphic cell phone video,...leaked months later." πŸ’”
